NORTH NAPLES - A North Naples family of three and their three dogs are safe after a fire destroyed their garage early Friday morning.

North Naples Fire Rescue was called to the fire at 227 Fairway Circle in Palm River about 3:30 a.m. Upon arrival, flames and heavy smoke were visible from the structure's eaves near the front door, said Capt. Mark J. Bush of North Naples Fire Rescue

Fire crews were notified that family pets were still inside the home. A quick search found two of the three dogs, but the third was found later after the fire was extinguished.

Crews contained the fire inside the garage with no extension into the house even though the fire got into the attic. Despite having the fire under control by about 4 a.m., the garage was deemed a total loss, NBC-2 reports.
